Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have assessed the value of reserves and the operations of the College and do not consider that there remain material uncertainties related to these or other events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the College's ability to continue as a going concern. The College remains financially stable with freely available funds on 31st August 2025 of £9.4m (2024: £8.9m, see note 17 for more details); other unrestricted designated reserve funds of £16.3m (2024: £15.4m) and unrestricted investment properties valued at £2.4m. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and charitable parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
